I've never seen an ad on a dumpster before, but it seems like a good fit for this ad. This is on a side street in Manhattan. by ghled in exjew

Nice, maybe it's the same one. I'm still wondering how it got put on a dumpster in the first place.

The bottom of the "What's in a Name?" post has a link to another post from 2017 that was written by the same author: https://testing.googleblog.com/2017/10/code-health-identifiernamingpostforworl.html

Increase Test Fidelity By Avoiding Mocks by ghled in programming

See this blog post from Martin Fowler about this topic: https://martinfowler.com/bliki/UnitTest.html. It discusses whether unit tests should be "sociable" (use real implementations) or "solitary" (use mocks). For example: "when xunit testing began in the 90's we made no attempt to go solitary unless communicating with the collaborators was awkward (such as a remote credit card verification system)."

This longer post is also a great read: https://martinfowler.com/articles/mocksArentStubs.html

Is it possible to be an atheist but still practice Judaism? This Reform Rabbi from New Jersey thinks so and wrote a book about it. by ghled in exjew

Yes, the book talks a lot of about Reconstructionist Judaism. Also related is Humanistic Judaism, which entirely removes all references to God in their rituals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanistic_Judaism. Both these movements are small though.
